The control system can control the start and stop of the vibrator 223, and the vibrator 223 can vibrate the material receiving container 221. By vibrating the material receiving container 221 with the vibrator 223, the problem that the powder adheres and accumulates on the inner wall of the material receiving container 221 after entering the material receiving container 221 can be prevented, so that the powder can fall to the bottom of the material receiving container 221 and start to accumulate from the bottom.

[0047] The feeding process of the feeding device is as follows: The control system can receive the signals of the material waiting recognition device 110 and the feeding recognition device 230. When the material waiting recognition device 110 recognizes that the type of the label 11 on the powder bag 10 is correct, the control system controls the hoisting mechanism 320 to move the powder bag 10 above the feeding device 210. At this time, the feeding recognition device 230 recognizes the label 11 on the powder bag 10 again. When the feeding recognition device 230 recognizes that the type of the label 11 on the powder bag 10 is correct, the control system controls the telescopic cylinder 2121 to act, so that the powder in the powder bag 10 enters the material receiving container 221. Through the above settings, the accuracy of powder identification in the powder bag 10 can be improved, automatic identification and accurate feeding of multiple powders can be realized, the situation of powder mixing in on-site operations can be avoided, and through the control of the control system, the manual labor intensity can be effectively reduced.
